You may pay {0} rather than pay the cycling cost of the first card you cycle each turn.

Whenever you draw your second card each turn, create a 2/2 red and white Dinosaur Cat creature token.

@seshiro_of_the_orochi I have your deck a look over and I sure did see a few cards in your list that I really want! I particularly liked your suggestions of Scarecrone and Dragonspark Reactor they seemed neat!

@scotchtapedsleeves Yeah the mana curve and mana base are two fundamentals thats im totally lost on (because I've only played a handful of EDH)... something feels wrong about a high number of basic lands; but I need a lot of mana for may gameplan so cycling lands seemed like a neat thought for a built in land drop if needed or just use mana rocks to filter through the deck....My other EDH deck is Gavi, Nest Warden so maybe its just habit or I just brainwashed myself into thinking that cycle lands are good lol.... as far as curve goes... yup not a clue really... granted I have a lot of ramp/rocks so I figured Spine of Ish Sah/Duplicant would be removal/interaction that would aid with artifact count for saheeli but maybe more efficient spells like Pongify would be better?...Myr Battlesphere is kinda the same thought and its more about paying {7} for 5 additional artifacts than a beatstick.... and as far as the other saheeli planswalkers go its just %100 me fangirling for her lol... the -2 abilities to make copies seems neat but its mostly just me cramming them in here lol

Thank you both for the advice/input... im gonna work with the list and pick up a few singles like Izzet Signet/Scarecrone... If either of you have any additional thoughts/suggestions please say so its very appreciated so thanks!

Icbrgr on Token Artwork Appreciation

2 years ago

I think we can all agree as Magic The Gathering players that some if the artwork in this game is just outstanding; whether it looks inspiring, cool, morbid ect. There is something out there for everyone.

Somthing that makes me happy is that even in the Tokens there is great artwork to be found and that is what I would like this discussion/sharing to showcase.

My example of something I would like to share with everyone is the artwork in the 2/2 {RW} Dinosaur Cat tokens generated by Gavi, Nest Warden. I think these tokens are just the most adorable things ever and was so fond of them I actually built an EDH Deck around her and making as many of these tokens as possible.... I dont even play EDH often; I'm a 60 card format kinda guy.

Has anyone else come across a token that just spoke to them for one reason or another?

jaymc1130 on Which non-partner commanders would you …

2 years ago

There are a number of commander pairings that I'd love to see be possible for a number of reasons.

First on the list is Birgi, God of Storytelling  ^Flip and The Reality Chip. Doesn't strike me as overly powerful, but it could be fun to run 2/3 of a Sensei's Top combo in the command zone. My gut tells me it wouldn't be quite as capable as the archetype already is with Elsha, but it would be a nifty pairing none the less.

Second on my list would be Gavi, Nest Warden and Rielle, the Everwise. Another nifty pairing where they play off each other's strengths. The Gavi+Library of Leng+Decree of Silence soft lock gets even better when it also draws a card each time you slap down an opponent's spell on their turn, exactly what a control deck like this needs to be effective. Doesn't change the deck any, just puts Rielle into the command zone for convenient access.

Sisay, Weatherlight Captain and Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful would be just too cute a pairing. The theme would be strong with this one.

Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca could be fun with Sygg, River Guide, Jori En, Ruin Diver or Dalakos, Crafter of Wonders to cram even more cool merfolk into merfolk tribal.

Tergrid, God of Fright  ^Flip and Tinybones, Trinket Thief seem like a match made in heaven. Ditto for Emry, Lurker of the Loch and Urza, Lord High Artificer.

Mina and Denn, Wildborn and Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait would be THE definitive "lands matter" commanders, right up my alley.

All of these seem like fun, none of these mashups present a true problem for the format in terms of play pattern powerlevels, but not all my wish list pairings are things that would play nice with the rest of the format.

Najeela, the Blade-Blossom and Plargg, Dean of Chaos  ^Flip/Derevi, Empyrial Tactician, for example, would break the entire format.

I absolutely love Gavi, Nest Warden, and her precon!

Here's a class card for that deck:

Bonder Class

Enchantment - Class

Whenever a non-Human creature enters the battlefield under your control, if you control a Human, scry 1.

: Level 2

Non-Human creatures you control have ", tap an untapped Human you control: this creature deals 1 damage to any target, you gain 1 life."

: Level 3

Humans you control have ", tap an untapped non-Human you control: Draw a card."

---

I'd like another class card, with a specific commander in mind

DrukenReaps on First edh deck

Evasive Maneuver Derevi, Empyrial Tactician

Mind Seize Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge

Adaptive Enchantment Estrid, the Masked

Lorehold Legacies Osgir, the Reconstructor

Prismari Performance Zaffai, Thunder Conductor

Quantum Quandrix Adrix and Nev, Twincasters

This should help some folks be more inclined to help you. I for one have no idea what the name of most of the decks are, it is just the commander(s) that I care about. What I would highly recommend is if you know your general preferred play style let us know and we can start pointing you in one direction or another.

There already is Gavi, Nest Warden, but okay.

Nekusar, Vindictive Master 1 U B R

Legendary Creature - Zombie Wizard

Whenever you cycle or discard one or more cards, draw a card.

Whenever you cycle a card, each opponent loses 1 life.

3/4

--

make a mono black card that has 'you lose the game' and 'you win the game'

Gavi, Nest Warden is a great cycling commander, and you can have Zirda, the Dawnwaker be your companion and make the cycling that much better
